Here, on the U.S. east coast, she is teasing, throwing a bone every so often, offering a night of open windows here and there. <br /><br /> “It holds an excitement, a mystery, a dying...yet also an awakening.” Some adore spring. Me, I’m an autumn girl too. <br /><br />Your words excite and inspire. The word “brackish,” for instance. Can you believe I even read a blog post on the word?! http://thewritepractice.com/brackish-words-on-wednesdays/<br /><br />Your autumn memory is chock-full of life, brimming with color.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460200095396398008.post-36928052423262868522012-09-12T16:32:22.916+01:002012-09-12T16:32:22.916+01:00Very evocative piece of writing, Jane.

I live at almost 5000' above sea level, so Autumn comes quickly and then winter is upon us. Because our irrigation depends on the snow-pack in the mountains around us, we generally are anxious to have an early snowfall (sometimes as early as October 15th) I like the winters best when we get our snow in November and december, rather than Jan. and Feb, because then I feel I can be more assured of being able to water the lawn and gardens in the summer to come. When it comes late, I always worry that it may not come or that we will not have enough. <br />I love the stillness I feel in the Fall. Like things are slowing and readying for a long sleep. <br />Enjoy this season dear Jane and I will do the same.<br />many hugs from here...

You write with such feeling and tenderness and with a clarity that transports us to that chemist's shop and we too see a small child choosing coloured slides for her hair.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
